lemmyBB was archived, maybe someone else is interested?

This project has been around since July of 2022. It's an alternative interface for Lemmy using phpBB hence «lemmyBB».

I just checked today and the dev archived it last February 2025 and the last commit (besides the archiving and readme) was in 2022.

Just a concerned Fediverse citizen, maybe someone is interested in continuing/forking it. Alternative interfaces used to be popular in the early 00s for mrny projects. But these days, we often see the same frontend, just a different theme/colours.

Who knows, all good things start small and humbly, maybe one day it'll become popular and in demand.

  • It's an interesting project, but NodeBB and Discourse have been working on adding activitypub support, so people who prefer bb style forums will probably use those. I don't think they integrate that well with lemmy yet, but I think it's being worked on.
